Re: NSMatrix Datasource?

Not a problem, per se, I am just more comfortable with table views that 
proactively read your model for their contents. Seems like with 
NSMatrix I will have to store my own model to define what is displayed, 
and then call methods on the matrix to basically duplicate my model in 
its own internal model.  Just seems inefficient.

I haven't really played with it yet, so I'm not sure exactly how much 
merit my dual-model concerns deserves; it's just that I had expected it 
to work like table views. They same to fulfill basically the same type 
of need, just with a different method of layout.
